Participants will learn how to facilitate and develop ISPs that are grounded in person-centered engagement and aligned with the intent of the HCBS Settings Rule and NOW/COMP waivers.

  • Beyond Code Minimums: Designing Accessible Kitchens & Bathrooms

    Between the ADA, FHA, Section 504, and general building codes, housing standards can be confusing for those with nondiscrimination requirements under the law as well as individuals with disabilities looking to live independently or age in place. In this webinar, attendees will learn practical design standards that go beyond minimal code compliance—so you can recognize quality accessibility when you see it (or request it when you don’t). Our speakers will share a Reference Guide and Kitchen and Bathroom Prototypes that they developed to reflect an inclusive design approach to plan for accessibility in any housing type. This session would benefit architects, builders, developers, planners and community development professionals, municipal officials who review plans and anyone invested in housing that serves people across their lifespan.

  • What, Wait! You Want Me to Talk About Sexuality?

    Healthy relationship boundaries are an important skill. We will explore tips and tools for addressing sexuality with people you work with.

    Healthy relationship boundaries are an important skill for us all. We are seeing more and more examples of those who have crossed lines in our culture. Even though people with intellectual and developmental disabilities are sexual beings, just like everyone, they also need the information and skills to navigate these waters and learn what's okay and not okay in various settings.

    This webinar will explore tips and tools for addressing sexuality one-on-one with the individuals you work with. We will explore why this topic can be difficult to approach and useful tools that will help you become more comfortable and confident and communicate about this sensitive topic.
